Now there is no reason to break reading routines or pack heavy books when traveling with kids. The new Children’s Bedside Reading Program allows younger fans of Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC access to age appropriate children’s books from the comfort of their guestroom.

The gratis Children’s Bedside Reading Program is an extension to the hotel’s current Bedside Reading Program which provides guests complimentary New York Times bestselling titles and new releases to either keep for their personal library or leave for the next guest to enjoy. Parents simply advise the child’s age when making a reservation or at check-in, and guest relations will deliver a selection of age appropriate children’s titles to enjoy. Kids love receiving books selected just for them, and parents appreciate the convenience of it all.

“As an avid reader, I know the joy of finding a terrific book. With the success of our current Bedside Reading Program it was only natural to extend the program to our younger fans. We want to encourage reading and the importance of disconnecting from screens to guests of all ages,” said Adriaan Radder, General Manager of Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC.

Each guestroom comes stocked with an ample selection, and new books are added monthly. Sample children’s titles include: Hungry Bunny by Claudia Rueda, Home by Adam Leitman Bailey, Eli Benjamin Bear by Hal Price, and the award winning One by Kathryn Otoshi.

For an added treat parents can choose to add a Children’s Bento Box filled with sweets and treats or a hot chocolate turn down to enjoy during story time. Younger fans also receive custom amenities such as robes, slippers, and toiletries.
